Do you allow dogs on board?

We love our furry friends and we are happy for them to travel for free, providing they are well-behaved. This is entirely at the discretion of the driver.

How long does the Tour take?

The three Tour routes are hop on, hop off , which means you can choose how long your day will be. If you don’t want to get off the bus along the way and just want to admire the stunning scenery of the National Park, we would recommend that you allow at least 2 hours for a round trip on one of our three routes.

How do I get to the Tour?

Bus travel from Southampton, Bournemouth and Salisbury is included free, when you buy your New Forest Tour ticket on board local buses from Bluestar, more or Salisbury Reds.

Ferry travel from Southampton to Hythe (on the Green Route) is included free, when you buy your New Forest Tour ticket from Hythe Ferry in Southampton (inside the Red Jet Terminal). Please note that free ferry travel only applies to same-day travel on Hythe Ferry.
